U21:

Athea/Mountcollins Rangers 0-14         

Feohanagh/Knockaderry 0-03

Athea/Mountcollins Rangers U21s have qualified for the West Semi-final following a convincing win over Feohanagh/Knockaderry in Newcastle West on Sunday last. Athea/Mountcollins Rangers totally dominated the match from start to finish; we scored nine unanswered points in the first twenty five minutes all from play. James Ryan scoring five points, Mikie O’Mahony scoring two points and a point each for Stephen Cahill and Jason Kelly. Our backs led by Dylan Griffin at center back were outstanding. Time and time again they kept the oppositions forwards from scoring. Our mid field pairing of Jonathan Fitzgerald and Stephen Cahill were on top through-out the game. Feohanagh/Knockaderry pointed a free just before half-time to leave the score at the break Athea/Mountcollins Rangers 0-09, Feohanagh/Knockaderry 0-01. The second half continued like the first with James Ryan scoring another two points from play and his bother Sean increased our lead with another point with ten minutes gone in the half. An expected comeback from Feohanagh/Knockaderry did not materialise with Stephen Cahill and Mikie O’Mahony exchanging points with the opposition before the final whistle. The final score read Athea/Mountcollins Ranger 0-14, Feohanagh/Knockaderry 0-03.

Plans are at an advanced stage for our ‘Lip Sync Battle’ Fundraiser on February 4th at Devon Inn Hotel. Many acts have now confirmed their participation – a decision they most definitely will not regret. We are now appealing to the generous business community or indeed any generous individuals of West Limerick /North Kerry to act as main sponsors for the event. In return for €1000 in sponsorship we will offer:

Your business logo placed on all posters (100), tickets (600), roadside posters (10) & sponsorship cards (55)
Your business logo will also appear on all YouTube clips which will be published online throughout the rehearsal process and post-performance.

A DVD will also be recorded on the night which all main sponsors will feature in. This will ensure that long after the event is over, your business will continue to be advertised.
We very much hope to make our main sponsors a part of the event on the night so as an added bonus; we will also offer a VIP package which will include two complimentary tickets, front row seating and a complimentary DVD of the night.

As we prepare to enter the following phases of our development project, which includes the erection of a fence, flood lighting and a walking track, we are now offering an exciting and very new sponsorship opportunity.
